"Quite possibly the best take on "Oleo" since Sonny Rollins put it out there! Ayako Shirasaki sets the keys and ears ablaze with her unique blend of class, sass and pizzazz on the thoroughly engaging Some Other Time!"
- Dan Bilawsky, writer for allaboutjazz.com, June 19, 2013

"Ayako Shirasaki on 'Some Other Time' shows yet again that she is a delicate dynamo of poetic energy and taste. Whether playing an original or a familiar standard, Ayako's whisking attack infuses the piano with an emotional, organic quality. In her hands, we hear the instrument sigh, pant, rant and rave―with notes becoming a bouquet of exotic flowers." ―Marc Myers, JazzWax.com

"Shirasaki is a pianist of limitless imagination, displayed on each improvisation and ingenious arrangement. " - Wilbert Sostre, latinjazznet.com

“白崎彩子の新作は、新しい発見に満ち溢れ、聴くものを予想外の展開へいざなう。これぞ必聴アルバム!”---- Kenny Barron

“白崎彩子の『瞬間力』が抜きん出ている。アイデアを瞬時に生み出す能力とでも言おうか、左手の動きなどを含めて聴けば聴くほど、プレイの凄まじさが伝わってくる。” --- バードマン・幸田 (ライナーノートより)

“白崎の魅力が一気に花開いたといえる傑作アルバム。重量感のあるタッチでグイグイとグルーヴし7拍子の曲でも4拍子と感じるほどよくスイングする。”---Jazz Page

“何も考えずに弾いた、というフレーズが皆無で、どの部分にも意思が見出される音楽が繰り広げられている。爽やかで潔いピアノ・トリオを聴きたい人、必携”---藤本史昭、Swing Journal
